Unless Elon Musk provides a rocket trip back home to Earth The rockets are supposedly coming back.

The disconnected Org wants to increase airport use, to dramatically increase spectators who need to rely on plug & plays. That's their idea of the fut...

Got stopped right after getting into the city Monday afternoon. At some point during the drive the tow lights failed and were no longer lighting when I hit the brakes.
